I am trying to use Polish letters in DSL. ( ż ź ć ń ą ś ł ę ó ) It also seems they don't want to show up on this forum either, even though I typed them correctly on this windows box. (except for the correct ó )
At boot I type lang=pl because that's what it says to do. This doesn't seem to do much, except when I press the ALT-GR key and one of the letters, it shows a strange character, but not the one it is supposed to.
Here's the really strange part though. In Skype, when I type a message with the ALT-GR and a Polish letter, I get the correct Polish letter.
So far Skype seems to be the only program that I can type correctly in. Open office can display the letters fine, but I can't type them.
I had a play with xkeycaps but that didn't work for me.
It's almost as if the system knows it's supposed to be Polish, but can't input them, except as I said for Skype.
Surely I don't really have to get carried away and install Xfree86 do I?
